" Galaxy Chocolate has a distinctively smooth texture, as well as a milky and creamy taste. Although, like most chocolate, it is not very good for you if consumed in large amounts! "

Usually I eat chocolate when at parties or special occasions such as birthdays, christmas and Easter. The first time I tried galaxy chocolate was when I was at my friends house watching a movie and she brought out the chocolate for us to eat. The taste was one of the most smooth and delicious chocolate I've actually tasted. After I first tasted galaxy chocolate I was completely an galaxy fan , taste wise this is most creamy chocolate I've ever hade. I try at only eat galaxy when I go cinema which is about every 2 months because galaxy can get really addictive and I eat less chocolate when I know I have to share with other people. I have recently discovered galaxy cookie crumble and I love the taste especially when your a cookie fan like me. Unlike the twix bars I will always be a fan of galaxy
It's smooth, chocolately but not so sickly you feel like curling in a ball and never eating it again. It's addictive and yet you really do not care. The individual pieces are just the right size for a little bit of heaven on the go and for all you calorie counters out there, there are only 29 calories per piece. The packaging is very durable, so you're not going to get many chocolate crumbs rolling out on you. Forget what the advert usually portrays, this chocolate is for everyone, not just the ladies who live with ladies that steal chocolate. Guys if you're put off eating it BECAUSE of that advert, you're missing out. It has just the right amount of snap to it, the texture is smooth and silky and that continues on with your taste buds. Explosion is all I can say. A big taste explosion. Buy it, eat it but remember not to neglect all the other chocolate out there waiting for you to devour it.
What is it about Galaxy Chocolate that makes me feel like I'm floating? I am a huge fan of chocolate - I mean, what's not to love? (I'm ignoring calories here). It's sweet, it's indulgent, and best of all, it's RELAXING. But I never get a high quite like I do from Galaxy on other chocolate. It's in a whole world of its own. What makes it different to that of its competing top brands is that it's far richer and creamier. Despite this I dont feel like the chocolate just coats my mouth as I often think other chocolates do when they're creamy. Galaxy just melts on your tongue and releases its sweet flavours and instantly I feel better. I actually can't resist sighing when I have a square. Nutritonally, it weighs slightly heavier than other brands: Per 100g Energy (kJ) 2,270 Energy (kcal) 544 Protein (g) 7 Carbohydrate (g) 56 of which sugars (g) 55 Fat (g) 33 of which saturates (g) 19 Fibre (g) 2 Sodium (g) 0 I'm obsessed with healthy eating, but when appropriate, I make a special allowance for a bit of Galaxy chocolate - an unbeatable bit of indulgence.
You seem to be able to get Galaxy varieties of so many products these days: Galaxy hot chocolate, Galaxy chocolate milk, McVitie's Galaxy cake, Galaxy mini-muffins...the list grows ever longer. Just give me a traditional bar of Galaxy and I'm happy, thanks. Currently £1 for a 114g bar in my Tesco Local. (24/08/13) I treated myself. The product: Ingredients: Sugar, Cocoa Ingredients (Cocoa Butter, Cocoa Mass), Skimmed Milk Powder, Milk Fat, Lactose, Whey Powder, Vegetable Fat, Emulsifier (Soya Lecithin), Natural Vanilla Extract, Milk Chocolate contains Milk Solids 14% minimum and Cocoa Solids 25% minimum, Milk Chocolate contains Vegetable Fats in addition to Cocoa Butter. Kosher; Suitable for Vegetarians; May Contain Gluten; May Contain Wheat. The cocoa used in this product is Rainforest Alliance Certified. Experience of the product: It's not surprising so many products strive to add that Galaxy flavour - it's a very distinctive chocolate. It is chocolately, yes - but it has its own special 'Galaxy' flavour. It tastes rich, sweet and creamy. And it has an underlying melt-in-the-mouth, milky smoothness which makes it a personal favourite. But it's true what the advert says about this chocolate - at least in our house - you do have to hide a bar if you want to keep it for yourself. I thought I'd hidden mine very well between a couple of Tom Clancy's in the bookshelf - obviously not - there is far less of it this morning than there was last night. Oh well, perhaps someone was trying to save me from myself - there are rather a lot of calories in this. In fact per 100g there are 544kcal. Quite a few calories need to be worked off if you sit and scoff an entire bar. The figures for one piece of chocolate - if you are someone with more self restraint than myself - make easier reading: One piece contains (3.8g) Calories 21kcal 1%*, Sugars 2.1g 2%, Fat 1.2g 2%, Saturates 0.7g 4%, Salt 0.01g <1% *Of an adult's Guideline Daily Amount (GDA) I don't know of a chocolate that gives such a silky, smooth eating experience. It's incredibly moreish. I like to eat it best straight from the fridge. Unfortunately, the fridge is not a good hiding place. To make this treat food go further (if I'm feeling generous) I melt a bar down to cover the tops of homemade chocolate muffins. If you add a sharper flavoured chocolate to the muffins, the smooth, creamy Galaxy topping makes a really nice contrast. Delicious. Would recommend.
THE WOFFLY BIT Several of the family, including five of my wife's grandchildren, aged between 3 and 11, came to stay in the house over Easter. (But I'm feeling better now, thanks). Needless to say, a sizeable amount of chocolate, partly in the form of eggs, was consumed. After they had gone my wife and I, whose innards had stoically been chocolate-free zones for the previous few days, felt it was time to treat ourselves. We both love the stuff, although fortunately we are not addicted to it. I say fortunately, as she needs to watch her weight, and while I can eat almost anything and burn it off almost at once, I'm aware that too much of something is rarely a good thing. However, treats are there to be savoured albeit sparingly, and you only live once. THE RELEVANT BIT Making a quick foray to the local Co-op, the confectionery shelves were festooned with several bars of Galaxy Smooth Milk in a shiny wrapper coloured several shades of brown. The 200g bar was on special offer at £1.50 from £2.45, so one bar of said product accompanied me to the till and home again. My wife and I opened up the package to reveal a large bar about 8" x 4" (20cm x 10cm), consisting of 42 pieces, or 7 rows with 6 pieces each, to put it another way. It was a fairly light colour in appearance. When we broke the whole thing in two, she said it gave off a very attractive, slightly creamy smell. With my severely impaired sense of smell, I'm happy to take her word for it. The taste, again, is light, slightly creamy and pleasantly sweet. Some people without a sweet tooth might find it a little excessive, but regarding myself as fairly middle-of-the-road as regards these things, it was fine by me - and by my wife as well. THE 'MORE TO SHARE' BIT So says a little strapline on the top of the wrapper. With this I'd agree. It was after all quite a generous-sized bar. We both finished our share feeling pleasantly sated. Even with my sometimes fairly generous appetite, I think that I might have felt slightly all-choc'ed out had I scoffed the lot myself. So yes, Mars, who manufacture Galaxy, there is indeed 'more to share'. One bar between two consenting adults will leave you satisfied. By the way, the wrapper warns that 'milk chocolate contains vegetable fats in addition to cocoa butter', and also that one piece, weight 4.8g, contains 26kcal. ONLINE No research of this nature is complete without at least a quick look online. Entering 'Galaxy' into the search engine I was taken to the site and a large warning, headed 'Our Promise'. What was this? Was I the 1,000th person to click on the site this month and about to be rewarded with a year's supply? (Pause to look out of window at flying pig). No - heavens above - I had entered an adult site. But fear not, there were no pictures of unclad people gorging themselves on chocolate, no shots of Marianne Faithfull with - ahem, where was I. What it did say was, and I quote, 'As a responsible manufacturer, and in line with our Marketing Code, we need to check your age to ensure that we adhere to our commitment to market our brands responsibly.' Having keyed in my date of birth and satisfied them that I was 18 (and had been 18 for years, in a manner of speaking), I was taken into the site to see the other products. I found out that Galaxy Smooth Milk is also available in single bars (46g), 'A Little Bit More' (75g), Multipack (4 x 46g), Large (125g), Twin Pack (2 x 125g), and if you have an appetite like Billy Bunter, or a large family, a 390g bar, which doesn't have a name. I would have thought Galaxy Monster might sound rather appropriate. If you want to buy yours from Amazon, the 125g bar is £1.95 + 99p delivery, or a box of 24 x 125g bars at £65.99 + £7.99 delivery. Needless to say, who wants to order them online when you can obtain them much cheaper over a shop counter probably not very far away. By the way, no Amazon Marketplace used bars were listed when I looked. I think of everything - perhaps unfortunately. As with several other well-known chocolates, Celebrations tubs contain an individually-wrapped piece of Galaxy alongside the other Mars suspects (Bounty, Snickers, Milky Way and so on). One measly little piece at a time? You've got to be joking, unless you can help yourself to all the others in the tub while nobody is looking. Only kidding... IN CONCLUSION Galaxy Smooth Milk looks good, tastes good, and therefore it must be good. But a 200g bar will be probably be more than adequate for one, unless you can bear to wrap it up and put it away for a few hours (now that might take a lot of willpower). Too much of it at once might be bad for you, but there's no harm in a little. [Revised version of a review I originally posted on ciao]
Galaxy is by far my favourite chocolate and everybody knows it, it's always a present given to me by someone who cant think of anything to give me. Its never badly recieved. If ever i have a little spare change to get something sweet i go for Galaxy and no little bars for me, I like the big ones (calm your dirty minds). Galaxy is different to most other chocolates in its shape, its slightly curved. This is said to make a difference to the taste, I don't know if it does but it is the best tasting chocolate I've ever had. Its quite creamy, I like to suck it as it melts in my mouth rather than bite into it. I find it to be very moreish, I've got it to top cakes before and thought "Ok well before I top the cake I'll just have a line" (a square just doesn't cut it) and then 5 minutes later "Maybe one more line". It's definitly my weakness and I thank God for my fast metabolism each time I give in to my weakness! I've also used Galaxy to melt and spread on top of cakes (tastes great but you need a lot of willpower to not eat it/lick lots of it off the knife you're using to spread it on cakes). I've also used it to make rice krispie cakes. I've had lots of good comments on my Galaxy rice krispie cakes, one of my friends thinks I should sell them haha. If you are intending to make rice krispie cakes with them my one advice would be go easy on the chocolate, I once was very generous with the chocolate, too much infact. I retrieved a cooled Galaxy rice kripsie cake out of the fridge and upon biting into it almost broke a tooth! Like all chocolates Galaxy can be a bit sickly after eating too much. However I with my sweet tooth have stronger resistant than others (I think so anyway!) I can easily munch through one of the 120g bars without feeling sick. Galaxy throughout the years have come up with many variations to their brand. My favourites of these are bubbles (quite like a galaxy version of aero) and caramel. Others include cookie crumble and hazlenut. I think Galaxy is quite a decent valued chocolate bar, its certaintly nowhere near as expensive as Lindt for example. You can currently pick up a bar of Galaxy in tesco for: 114g bar- £1 200g bar- £2.09 390g- £3.65 Its worth noting that there are often deals on these bars, I've one bought a 390g bar for £2...that was a very happy day for me!
OK....so, chocolate is chocolate is chocolate. Right? WRONG! I am not an expert and my taste buds may not be to the standards where I could taste for a living but I know what I like and Galaxy is simply out of this world. With its smooth, slightly curved and sexy shape, it is a delight to gaze at and hold. Each square breaks with a clean, crisp 'snap' and slowly melts in your mouth. Smooth and rich tasting, this is an ideal little treat for anyone at any time of the day. I personally find Galaxy to be the brand of chocolate to least leave that slightly 'tacky' feeling in your mouth - where it feels it could stick your tongue to the roof of your mouth! Priced competitively within the marketplace, it shares shelf space with other better and less known brands, but in my humble opinion, Galaxy is the best.
Galaxy is a renowned chocolate throughout the world. I really don't need to say much other than the fact that it is divine and a mouth watering chocolate. But to explain in a little more detail, It's the chocolate that has a rich texture yet melts in my mouth. I tend to purchase my galaxy stash when it is on offer, the 125g for only One pound. That is pretty cheap in comparison to how expensive chocolates are now a days. Galaxy is a real treat and my all time favorite has to be the original galaxy milk chocolate but I do enjoy cookie crumble too. The fact that it is available anywhere and everywhere is both good and bad. It means I can access it whenever I crave it and on the other hand it means I buy it even when I shouldn't! Cadburys, Hershey's, Thornton's all make lovely chocolate but none have achieved the texture that galaxy seems to give. Since I do like to look after my teeth, I don't bite into chocolate, rather I take a little bite size amount off the bar and let it melt on my tongue. It takes around a minute for me to go through a small piece and quite often, it is more than enough. So for a pound, it is more than worth it because it goes a long way (if i can resist). I love the luxurious foiled packaging it comes it, it makes it feel like more of an expensive treat. At the end of the day its the thought that counts,not the price tag and I know I always will appreciate the rich quality of the chocolate. It is one of those timeless chocolates and I just hope they don't raise the price of them where they become to dear to buy on a weekly basis. You really cannot go wrong with giving galaxy as a present either. It is a little bit of a casual type of present but everybody really enjoys it. There are big family sized bars as well as snack bars for maybe break time! At Christmas, they come out with a huge slab of chocolate and it really is an amazing thing to give to the entire family. Everyone enjoys it and it certainly puts a smile on my face. I would be more than happy to receive a bar of galaxy as a present. To me it seems like luxury!
Whenever I go to the supermarket and am looking for a nice bar of chocolate to buy, Galaxy is one of the few bars of which tempt me the most. I must say that it has been one of my favourite chocolate brands ever since I discovered it, and when I feel like a real treat I go and pick a bar up. Galaxy is one of those brands which allows you to enjoy indulgent chocolate without having to pay too much, unlike some brands of chocolate out there which claim to be 'premium' and 'gourmet'. Though Galaxy would not really fit into the 'Value' section of the chocolate market, for its delicious taste it certainly is at a reasonable price. For an 125g bar of Galaxy Smooth Milk Chocolate, you would expect to pay a little over a pound. However, I have noticed that a lot of the time, supermarkets seem to be holding promotions for these bars so that you can obtain an 125g bar for only £1.00, not a high price to pay for a bar of good quality chocolate at all. Galaxy bars also come in a range of different sizes, for example larger more to share packs and multipacks of mini Galaxy bars. I usually tend to buy the 125g size because it is the most convenient size for me and because of the frequent £1 promotions, it is the best value of money out of the lot often. Though it does seem like quite a big bar of chocolate, I do find that it disappears pretty soon! The Galaxy label has also been extending its range, for example, I have seen some Galaxy cake bars lying around, even though I have never tried them. I have tried out the Galaxy hot chocolate, which is nice but not as delicious as the actual chocolate. There have also been many flavours of Galaxy developed, for example the Caramel variety. My favourite flavour must be the Galaxy Cookie Crumble, as it adds a really nice crunch to your normal bar of Galaxy, and Galaxy really does a good job with it. An important aspect that Mars (the company that creates Galaxy chocolate bars) prides itself in is the shape of the actual chocolate. Each chunk is slightly curved and smooth; the shape gives a feeling of sophistication. The shape is said to affect the actual taste and feel of the chocolate, and I am not sure whether or not it is just a psychological thing, but to me, because of the unique shape, Galaxy has always had something different from your typical bar of chocolate. The taste is smooth, creamy and delicious, exactly what a good bar of chocolate should be like. It is milky and just sweet enough (though sometimes if I eat too much I find that it is slightly too sugary and sickly... but after all, this is chocolate we are talking about here). There is a distinct taste to it that is hard to explain, but easy to recognise. If someone put a chunk of galaxy in my mouth whilst I was blindfolded, I could recognise the taste immediately. Obviously, the most popular way of enjoying Galaxy is to simply take it out of its wrapper and snap off chunks to eat. However, I have found that Galaxy is also a nice chocolate brand to bake with. For example, you can cut the chocolate into smaller chunks and then bake them into cookies. Also, adding chunks into your brownies can give them a really decadent touch. This is an example of a chocolate that you do not have to pay so much for, whilst still getting something of very good quality and taste. For that reason, I would give it 5 out of 5 dooyoo stars.
I go through phases where I love chocolate, others where the very thought of it makes me feel sickly. The other day at work I purchased a 46g bar of Galaxy Smooth Milk chocolate from the vending machine, for 70p, lucky for me 2 bars came out, so my husband ate the other one. The bar comes in a brown easy to tear plastic wrapper, the chocolate inside is a whole piece but with grooves so you can snap a bit off. The nutritional information is for 100gs is: * 544 kcal (26% of your daily allowance) * 32.5g fat (42%of your daily allowance) * 6.6g protein * 56.1g carbs The ingredients are Sugar, cocoa ingredients (cocoa butter, cocoa mass) skimmed milk powder, milk fat, lactose, vegetable fat, emulsifier (soya lecithin), natural vanilla extract, traces of gluten. It is 14% minimum milk chocolate solids and 25% cocoa solids and is suitable for vegetarians, which is good as I am one. Wow, after listing all the ingredients and nutritional information I am glad I only ate two pieces. The product is made by Mars, and on the packet is a Rainforest Alliance Certified Logo which means that the cocoa used in the chocolate bar is traceable from the farm into the Mars factory and that Mars aim to improve the livelihood of the farmers and their communities, protect the environment and also protect the wildlife around them. This is good, as I think that we all need to take greater responsibility for the products we buy and the way we live our lives. Now does it taste any good? Well I must be going through a not liking chocolate phase as it was just too sickly for me. I did not get much of a chocolate hit off the bar when I opened it. I ate the first piece and thought that it was smooth and very creamy, which was pleasant, as it was melting it was quite thick and sticks in your mouth for a while, so I had another piece and that was enough, it was just too rich and creamy for me. I was disappointed, really should have just had a chocolate biscuit. Anyway I am not sure if to recommend this is not, as my taste experience was not that good, what I would say is that for people that love rich, creamy chocolate, this would be a must try product, for those less inclined to feel sick, I would suggest an alternative product, my husband would disagree as he thought it was great with his cup of coffee, hay ho, the world would be a very dull place if we all liked the same things.
From the second you buy galaxy you know this chocolate has class. As you open the package and open the foil you can smell the chocolate and how good it is, I enjoy breaking a segment of 1 at a time and savouring it and allowing it to melt in my mouth. It is wonderfully silky and creamy and tastes delicious. There are many variations but I always find myself coming back to the original as it is just so good. In my opinion, it is the best and most tasty chocolate you can buy. The only downside I can think of is that the price of Galaxy is slightly more expensive than other chocolate bars out there but I believe it's worth it, especially as a treat on a saturday night when you're watching a film with your family or loved ones. Just make sure they don't eat too much!
Back in my student days in the UK, I was a bit of Galaxy devotee. I never got into Cadbury (and I'm fully expecting to be run out of the country by an angry mob for stating such a sentiment), there were only so many chocolate packages that people could mail me from abroad (though on one memorable occasion I got a 5kg package of nothing but Milka chocolates. I was the most popular girl in student halls for a while) and the upmarket brands were too pricey. Galaxy was the perfect solution to my chocolate dilemma: creamy and smooth, and completely affordable. So it was for great enthusiasm I reached for a Galaxy bar in the supermarket after nearly a detail. The packaging was nice and milimalist like I remembered, the golden/brown tones and swirl remiscent of smoooth, melt-in-your mouth chocolate. Unfortunately, I was too blinded by nostalgia by account for the way one's palette often changes throughout the years. Rather than the silky, creamy delight I was expecting what I got instead was a rather ordinary, overly sweet taste. The chocolate is certainly creamy, but that doesn't make up for the fact it's fact it's too heavy and the sugar and light on the cocoa, and I found the overall result mediocre at best. Still better than some of the more cardboardy chocolate bars, but nothing I'd consider eating again, barring a dire emergency and lack of any other kind of chocolate around. I freely admit that my penchant for Swiss/Belgian chocolates and real dark chocolate (ideally over 80%) have turned my chocolate tastes very specific, and I'm sure it's a perfectly fine bar of chocolate for a lot of people. And at the 1 pound I paid for it in Sainsbury's (it was on discount), reasonnably priced as well! I'd probably reccomend it as an alternative to some of the downmarket products. Or to anybody afflicted with a late night case of the munchies.
I have to admit as I have "aged" from a child to a Young Adult- I have, over the years became- less attracted to sweets. I do however adore chocolate. It was then inevitable then, for me to one day to try Cadbury's chocolate rival- Galaxy chocolate- Or Dove Chocolate, as it is known in other countries. However though I did enjoy the bar I really cannot see why many credit it! Allow me to explain why. Galaxy History; Galaxy is a brand of Milk chocolate made and marketed by Mars. It was first launched in 1960 and then bought by Mars in 1986. Taste/Texture; It is very rare do I say "I dislike that chocolate bar" and Galaxy was no exception. It is in fact one of the creamiest chocolate's I have ever come across. I actually agree with Galaxy that the shape of the chocolate pieces can and did make the difference in texture as it did melt faster than the previous shape of Galaxy chocolate. However- isn't Dairy Milk just as creamy because of all that lovely liquid Milk? It is also- by quite a margin, cheaper. There is no unique shape in dairy Milk. It looks just like an ordinary cube of chocolate. Although I liked the taste of Galaxy I still prefer Cadbury Dairy Milk- This is because it tastes allot more chocolatey without being gritty and dry- as if it has a higher cocoa content- than the slightly bland in comparison Galaxy bar. Smell; I found the same problem here to with the galaxy bar! Yes- I loved the smell of Galaxy. It smelt very creamy- However when I inhale the scent of Galaxy- I kept on remembering (and missing) that distinctive smell of Cadbury Dairy Milk- that Chocolatey Cocoa scent with a creamy, balanced after tone- compared to Galaxy's plain and simple creamy tone. Packaging; This I feel is possibly the biggest strong point of the Galaxy brand. Whereas Cadbury Dairy Milk is wrapped in a purple plastic like paper the Galaxy bar is wrapped in "Gold" (that being gold foil,) with nice quality paper wrapped around the foil. I will admit then that the Wrapping paper on the Galaxy bar is of better quality than Cadbury's. However is this a good thing- when we as a world are supposed to be thinking upon preserving our materials and resources and it being cheaper to produce less paper- and therefore keeping consumer costs down? Product Quality; I personally feel Galaxy has worked to hard on trying to make the bar very creamy- which it does with out a doubt- succeed. However I do not feel it has the balance of the significantly cheaper rival of Cadbury. Cadburys's bar is also very creamy- because of the fresh milk they use as mentioned. But to me it seems that Cadbury's seems to taste more like chocolate should- that is of chocolate and not cream unlike Galaxy. It is worth noting that there is no Hydrogenated fat in Galaxy however. On the other hand Galaxy chocolate contains allot of sugar! Value For Money; Typically a bar of a medium sized Galaxy bar will cost you around£1.39 from Tesco for 125 grams (It is now on offer at £0.93checked by me on Wednesday 30th November) However Cadbury Dairy Milk offer a much better value 140 gram bar will only cost £1.00 full price (In most Newsagents) On top of that Cadbury Ease my conscience for the less fortunate people in the world- as unlike Galaxy, Cadbury only use fair-trade Cocoa meaning a better life for Cadbury's suppliers of cocoa. This is another reason why I would not buy Galaxy. However, credit to Galaxy, they are registered with the Rainforest Alliance- which helps protect the worlds rainforests. Verdict; Cadbury it is for me!!! (Though I do love the Galaxy Cookie Crumble!) Nutrition (Per 100 Grams) Calories 544 Protein 6.6g Carbohydrate 56.3g Fat 32.5g Saturated Fat 19.3g Sugar 55.7g Ingredients; sugar, cocoa ingredients (cocoa butter, cocoa mass) skimmed milk powder, milk fat, lactose, demineralised whey powder, vegetable fat, emulsifers (soya lecithin, E442), flavourings.

I love and eat every chocolate bar on the shelf ( except turkish delight, Erugh ) I cannot eat a small bar of this I always have to go for the larger bars which are roughly £1.22 in the local shops near me but Tesco always have offers on the 125g bars which are usually £1 so I always buy a few other these at the same time, this will last me a couple of days, maybe a week at the most. If you can pace yourself with sweets and not eat them all at once ( I cannot, I have to eat it straight away ) then a couple of squares at a time makes a nice tasty treat because there is 23 calories per square and 1.4g of fat. The wrapping on all Galaxy bigger bars is foil and then with a paper label around the middle, on the back it will have the chart to tell you have many calories, fat, suger and more is in this bar and next to it the percentage your supposed to have of each in a day, this is really helpful if your like me and trying to lose weight and cut down on excess thngs, it really helps to not eat the bar all at once. ( I do sometimes though hehe ) The colour of the wrapping is browns and white colours, compared to diary milk Galaxy screams out luxuary making it a cheeky treat when you do have some.. Galaxy is extremly smooth and milky which melts warmly in your mouth leaving your mouth lined with tasty chocolate without the sickly taste of ordinary chocolate, it is sweet and soft without the bitter after taste, the best time to eat this I found is with a hot drink, it really helps melt the chocolate and give you the full flavour of it making you enjoy it more. These come in different sizes so if you are watching your weight you can buy a 46g bar and not feel bad by your lack of self control and you wolf this down.
I dont think I know anyone who doesnt like Galaxy choc. it is so creamy and velvety that you just stop what ever you are doing and close your eyes and dream when you tatse this. I am not a big choc fan and can not eat load of choc, however this is great and I could eat the whole (big) br in one go! There are quite a few different varieties of Galaxy from caramel to ripple. even the caramel seems smoother and lighter than other choc. It oozes calories and so a good work out is needed before this is indulged in. but then again it is worth it. Even though it seems a bit more luxerious than other chocs it doesnt have a higher price tag. It does sometimes have some really great offers meaning a large bar os only a £1. Normal sized bars are the same size as other choc bars so not breaking the bank and on a par wioth them all. I would choose this if I was going to spend the evening in watching telly. I would say it is good for en evening in with my partner watching telly, but then I wouldnt want to share it! I would have to hide it and only nibble bits when he wasnt looking! Far too good to share!!
Silk-smooth, creamy milk chocolate.

BKE Payton Boot Stretch Jean 1 1
Not what I would call "Mid-rise" I usually buy the BKE Culture jeans. They are described as, "Mid-rise zip fly stretch jean. Comfort waistband. Curvy fit, slightly eased through the hip and thigh. 18" bottom opening. Embroidery on pieced back pockets. Hand sanding, whiskering and grinding details," which sounds almost exactly like the description for these Payton jeans. However, the Payton is much MUCH lower on the waist than the culture. I have a bit of a booty and anything less than midrise ends up showing way too much of my backside every time I sit or bend down. These jeans would work well if you wanted more low rise or don't have much of a rear end. August 19, 2013

Of all the people who've been victims of raw political power in this corrupt state, I bet there's one name you never expected to see:
Boss Madigan.
In a lawsuit filed Tuesday against Gov. Pat Quinn, Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan and his cunning apprentice, state Senate President John Cullerton, D-DeLeo, are portraying themselves as victims of the governor's ruthlessness.
And heaven help me for saying this, but Boss Madigan is absolutely right.
Yes, the words curdle on my tongue. But fair is fair. Boss Madigan is being strong-armed by a cruel and overreaching government.
Let's agree, once and for all, that the most powerful man in the state, Boss Madigan, is a victim.
Not only is he a victim, but he and Cullerton are champions of a free and independent legislature, at least in their own minds. How do I know this? They say so.
They're upset that Quinn has refused to pay legislators their salaries until lawmakers do something about the $100 billion in unfunded pension liabilities for state workers that's been burning a hole in Illinois' credit rating.
Every day the legislature waits, they cost us taxpayers millions. But while they wait, they want us to pay them. This is what passes for logic in Illinois.
It seems only like days ago when Madigan publicly supported Quinn's pay freeze idea.
"The governor's decision follows my efforts, and I understand his frustration," Madigan said in a statement. "I am hopeful his strategy works."
Actually, it doesn't just seem like days ago. It was days ago. July 10 to be exact. But now the legislators want Madigan and Cullerton to go and get their money from Quinn.
In their letter Tuesday to legislators, Madigan and Cullerton explain the good-government reasons they're opposed to Quinn's squeeze on legislative pay.
"In this case, the governor is seeking changes to the pension system, but next time it could be tax policy, gun control, or education reform," Madigan and Cullerton said in a letter to state lawmakers. "The possibilities are endless. The purpose of this lawsuit is to protect the independence of the legislature and preserve the separation of powers.
"It is our hope that the court will remedy this constitutional violation and that future governors will not feel empowered to use such coercive tactics."
That didn't faze Quinn, who still insists that legislators who don't do their jobs to fix the pension mess shouldn't get paid.
"If legislators had put forth the same effort to draw up a pension reform agreement that they did in crafting this lawsuit, pension reform could have been done by now," Quinn said in a statement.
"Instead of focusing on resolving the state's pension crisis — which is costing taxpayers millions of dollars a day — legislators have chosen to focus on their own paychecks and waste taxpayer time and money on this lawsuit."
Ah, but notice that Quinn said nothing about his alleged "coercive tactics."
Guess what, governor? No one likes coercive tactics, which is probably why Madigan — blessed be his name — filed the lawsuit in Cook County Circuit Court.

Editorial Review by Citysearch Editors – This recycling shop for "kids' stuff with previous experience" buys and sells gently used children's clothing, equipment and furniture.
They will out grow it so fast why buy new? – YOu can trade clothes that no longer fit your child for ones that do ( n a way but not literally) They have a big selection and most of the time sorted by size and gender. They only buy and put out seasonal clothes. They have the best buys on cribs and saucers. My little girl almost got all of her clothes there until she fit into a two. Now she only gets dresses there.
They always have tons of boys clothes moms. You know they are hard to find in stores. They are almost always on sale there too.

I am part of a project to research the history, "residents" and eventually to record all inscriptions in Gravesend Cemetery, Kent. I am happy to take photo requests for this cemetery as I am a frequent visitor there. I am always interested to hear from anyone with any information about interesting people buried there, (they certainly don't have to be "famous"!)
I am always willing to transfer ownership of my memorials to relatives.

Thank you for the information. I think he's somewhere along the line. Lots of Johns, Mary's, and Edwards, but the ones I'm finding so far have more than one boy in the line, so I'll have to figure that all out. Puzzles, Puzzles.

John Chapman 48426886
Hi there, Does the stone/memorial for 48426886 say to whom he was married, or anything about his parents? I'm looking for a John Chapman married to Elizabeth Scott. They also had a son named John Chapman. They're my ancestors, the first who remained in Cambridgeshire, England.
I can't read the stone, so I don't know if this is he. Thank you.

G S Moore memorial
Please would you add the following info to the memorial to Flying Officer G S Moore, who is buried in East Hill Cemetery, Dartford.
Gregor Stephen Moore died aged 21 at Frankton, near Rugby, in a night flying exercise. A Me 410 intruder shot down the plane that Gregor was piloting and collided with its wreckage. All those on board both planes were killed. Locals believed that Gregor deliberately rammed the German plane, but this is not certain. See - http://www.aircrewremembered.com/raf1944/moore.html for more information and pictures.

Jack Smith /graveyard or church yard
In doing family research I have been lead to Aylesford Church yard, which I believe to be St Peter and St Paul Church Yard in Aylesford, England.
If I am correct in this, I am looking for the burial site of Jack Smith, who was cremated at Jacques Funeral Home, and then the ashes were interned at St Peter and St Paul Churchyard Some time in 1978.
I am hoping you can verify this information for me, as I am concerned regarding the terminology "Churchyard", having been seriously reprimanded by someone in England who said he is trying to clean up the messes people have made using churchyard rather than cemetery, and the difference between the two. To be honest, I did not understand his explanation, and so I look to you for an answer. I am very grateful to you for your time.

Notes for Session 3, Part D
Note 5
Groups: Work on Problems D1-D7 and discuss what everyone finds.
The problem with the algorithm in Problem D3 is the step "add your original number." It's not clear how to model that with machines. Even if we are able to adapt the machine metaphor to work, we can't "undo" that step of the process.
Consider going through a symbolic representation of the algorithm to see that it does not share this weakness with the machine, because you can combine terms, essentially creating an equivalent algorithm that you can undo:
[(n + 3) x 2 + n - 4] x 3 = (3n + 6 - 4) x 3
(This is just one of many equivalent algorithms.)

The competition is familiar but our status in it is new. So what has changed ponders Giles Smith in this week's column. He also sets himself a new challenge…
Ah, those first Champions League nights in September: the familiar strains of the anthem again, the slight autumnal chill in the air, the sense of a potentially life-altering adventure beginning, the pernickety refereeing... We wouldn't have it any other way, would we? Apart, possibly, from the pernickety refereeing. And maybe also the autumnal chill, if we haven't thought to bring a coat.
Clearly the occasion gets to the players in important, galvanising ways, too. Last night's performance was as different from Saturday's mildly understated efforts against Queen's Park Rangers as Loftus Road is from a decent place to watch football.
As you may be aware, we won this competition last year - and did so through some bloody-minded clinging-on and some highly efficient counter-punching, mostly in order to annoy Franz Beckenbauer. And enormously enjoyable it was, too.
But, on last night's evidence, that doesn't appear to be the way we intend to defend it. Last night was our first proper sight of the energy-boost supplied to this team by Oscar and Eden Hazard, working together, and it looked like a dual set-up that could very quickly turn into a thing of wonder. I'd hate to have been a member of Juventus's back line last night, getting harrassed and closed down by Oscar and Hazard on the form they were in in the first half, in particular. It would have been like being trapped in a small car with two hornets.
Plus if there was a better taken goal on our ground in the last three decades or so than Oscar's second one last night, then I'm struggling to remember it. It was, of course, classically, the kind of goal that deserved to win a match, so there was bound to be some disappointment when Juventus crept back into it. Bear in mind, though, that Juventus are no slouches and, indeed, don't appear to have lost a match in Serie A since the age of the oil lamp.
Also, it would seem to me, looking at our group, that the key to qualifying from it is to drop points (if we must drop any at all) only when Juventus are doing so, too. To that extent, we're bang on track to go through.
It didn't seem to me that the obsessive grit that took us all the way to victory in Munich last time has in any way deserted the side, either. I think we all know that if last night's match had gone to penalties, we would have won.
With European competition back under way, we can once again turn our minds to the big questions which have bamboozled humankind since time immemorial: namely, who are the goal-line officials? Who sent them? And what do they want?
And also what do they do? And when do they do it? And has anyone ever noticed?
From my position in the corner of the Matthew Harding Upper, I'm in a pretty good position to observe the workings of these mysterious, slightly otherworldly entities. Accordingly, on the evidence of my own eyes last night, I can report that, in the first half, when there was a direct free kick to Juventus in a fairly dangerous area near the edge of the penalty area, the official near Petr Cech's goal stood to one side and, ever so slightly, crouched.
So, at least part of the answer to the question about what goal line officials do is this: a bit of crouching.
As for the other questions (what else they do, who they are, who sent them, what they want), we're still entirely in the dark. But there's nothing like a mental challenge and our quest to understand will no doubt continue as the competition unfolds. Indeed, let's make 2012/13 the season in which we finally pin down the point of the goal-line official.
And award yourself extra points for working out what he's doing with that black stick.
The last time we let a two-goal lead slip in the Champions League? Against Monaco in the second leg of the 2004 semi-final at Stamford Bridge, chasing a 3-1 deficit after the first leg in Monte Carlo on that fateful night when a kangaroo got loose in the top paddock of poor Claudio Ranieri's brain.
Such was the grotesque horror of that first night in France (some of us lost the power of speech during those 90 minutes and didn't recover it for several days after we had returned to England) that one tends to forget what happened later, in the second installment - how we went 2-0 up in the first half and were technically heading for the final on away goals until Monaco added another (possibly handled) before half-time and then a second in the second half to bump us out properly.
In the great catalogue of Champions League miseries, other incidents tend to bulk larger - the goal that wasn't, events in Moscow, Iniesta in the dying minutes, etc. But, as time passes, and with the calmer perspective that comes from having finally won the competition, that pair of matches against Monaco increasingly looks like it deserves to be right up there. It might be time for a formal historical revision.
I'm sure I wasn't alone in feeling that Manchester City's reversal away to Real Madrid on Tuesday night gratifyingly illustrated an important lesson: namely, that you can't simply buy success in the Champions League. You have to work at it.

Tyndall PVD Black Carbon Fiber LTD $1,695
Modern, complex and exquisite, this limited edition watch is a spin on Xetum's Tyndall line, designed in LA, but containing a Swiss automatic movement. Defined by Xetum's signature lugless case, an exhibition back and a carbon fiber dial with a recessed small second subdial, it's as powerful as it is sharp.
Blood and Tears
Martinique Sunglasses $250
Bored with spotting the same styles across faces in NYC, Holland-born Alex van Klaveren and Washington native Zoe Nightingale took their mutual obsession with shades to launch The Monocle Order. Their limited edition, Martinique frames in fantastic blue on blue are handcrafted in Turkey using zyl acetate (a renewable resource) from Mazzucchelli—a company long known for its investment in plastics R&D. They use a technique which injects pigment into the plastic, meaning they're that much more brilliant and will last that much longer.
Lange & Söhne
Lange 1 $30,637
This stunning watch is one of just 5,000 produced each year by the holy grail of Saxon watch making. Originally founded in 1845 by Ferdinand Adolph Lange, A. Lange & Söhne shuttered during the post-war Soviet era, only to be reborn in 1990 following the collapse of the East German government. The LANGE 1 was one of the first designs to be re-released, and features Lange's characteristic oversized date and asymmetrical displays, along with the groundbreaking mechanics and hand-finished perfection for which the iconic manufacturer is so well known.
James Victore
Eros $3,000
Applying his signature irreverent style to a beautifully hand-thrown platter by master ceramicist David Bogus, Brooklyn-based illustrator and artist James Victore created a one-of-a-kind dish fit more for your wall than kitchen table. Emblazoned with "Eros"—the Greek god of love—across the top, the unique, collaborative work of art is one for the ages.
Askinosie + Jeni's Ice Creams
Dark Chocolate + Malted Milk Bar $11
The Dark Chocolate + Malted Milk Bar is a slice (or bar, rather) of a chocolate-lovers heaven courtesy of a palate-gripping collaboration between James Beard award-winning chef Jeni Britton Bauer and the folks at Askinosie Chocolate, a small batch, bean to bar chocolate maker in Missouri.
Bill Wyman
Bill Wyman's Scrapbook $275
Hand-sewn and hand-bound in England using the finest materials and traditional methods, this super limited-edition compilation (only 1,962 copies will ever exist) is revealing, reflective and deeply candid through insightful, handwritten commentary from legendary Rolling Stones founding member, bass player Bill Wyman.
Field Shave Kit $60
Based on professional barbershop necessities, Imperial Barber's grooming products bring time-honored tricks of the trade into the home for everyday use. Made in LA, they're all-natural, utilitarian grooming goods for the manliest of men. Be sure to pick up the essential Field Shave Kit during its limited holiday run.
Dempsey & Carroll + Farrow & Ball
Ocelot Correspondence Cards $75
Send your thoughts on these limited edition cards, a collaboration between historic NYC engravers Dempsey & Carroll and England's Farrow & Ball. This set of 10 correspondence cards (including tissue-lined envelopes) is made from actual Farrow & Ball wallpaper, which is uniquely hand-brushed with their signature paint, not ink. No two cards are exactly the same, and proceeds benefit respective local charities: Julia's House children's hospice in Dorset, England and The Children's Storefront in NYC.

Marino, assistant professor at WSU's Department of Teaching and Learning, contributes his characteristic insight into the systemic problems that kids with learning disabilities face, including how they're frequently deprived of solid science foundations for later, more complex science curricula to build on. The article goes on to outline how teachers can use games and technology — specifically, games built around the Universal Design for Learning framework — to help middle school students with LD catch up and keep up with their peers, including a detailed example of how games enhance instruction.
It's a comprehensive piece and well worth the read, but you'll have to be a member of NSTA to read it online. Those guys have all the fun.

5 things to do while you're in Phoenix
Although the main focus of your trip to Arizona in June is to celebrate your — or a loved one's — accomplishment, you deserve to have some fun while you're in town for national commencement.
If you've never been to the Phoenix/Scottsdale area, you'll be excited to learn that there are lots of things to see and do to help turn your graduation trip into a bona fide vacation. Here are five activities that'll help you make the most of your time in the Valley of the Sun:
Book a scenic tour of Arizona.
Select from day tours to multi-day and specialty tours from Arizona Scenic Tours. See attractions like the spectacular Grand Canyon, local Spanish missions and the historic Route 66. Or take in the sights of Sedona, known as "Red Rock Country" for the magnificent sandstone monoliths that surround the city, and end your day with a tour of Arizona wineries.
Enjoy the outdoors.
Plan a hike on one of Arizona's many trails, spend time golfing or see the beauty of the desert up close at the Desert Botanical Garden. Whatever you decide, go early to avoid the hottest parts of the day, wear a hat, apply sunscreen and take plenty of water.
Experience the spirit of the Southwest.
The Heard Museum, dedicated to promoting American Indian arts and culture, has 11 exhibition galleries that reflect the history of American Indians. View Hopi pottery and the works of Diné photographers, or shop for authentic artwork. Be sure to visit the museum's website to check summer hours for both the Phoenix and Scottsdale locations and to see its list of top 10 things to do there.
Explore downtown Phoenix.
With National Commencement taking place at the Phoenix Convention Center, you'll find an array of shopping, dining and entertainment just beyond the graduation headquarters. Across the street is Chase Field, home to the Arizona Diamondbacks, who'll be hosting the World Champion San Francisco Giants, June 7–9.
Add a little edge to your sports adventure with a visit to veteran rocker Alice Cooper's restaurant. Or head over to CityScape for more dining and entertainment options, day or night.
If you're traveling with kids, take them to the Arizona Science Center nearby, then board the Valley Metro light rail to the Phoenix Art Museum. And when you're ready to venture beyond downtown, don't forget Scottsdale, where trendy meets the Old West.
Tour the University's high-tech Phoenix Main Campus.
Visit the John Sperling Center for Educational Innovation, our 10-story, state-of-the-art building designed for students and staff. Features range from video displays to interactive maps and classrooms that use the latest tools in educational technology. Visitors are welcome on June 6, from 11 am to 4 pm.

The 1960s were a bustling time for the city, with the local cotton mill whirling out thread, and storefronts downtown full of shops. There was plenty of opportunity for young entrepreneurs like then-26-year-old Joe Lively, owner of Lively's.
Lively was raised for the most part in Jacksonville's mill village with his eight brothers and four sisters.
"He grew up with a very simple life," his daughter Vickie Cooper said recently by phone from her home in Boca Raton, Fla. "But he was such a hard worker."
Lively lived with his uncle and aunt for a time growing up, and at a young age began working at a sawmill, where his daughter said he'd come home with his young hands covered in pine rosin.
That's also when he got his first taste of working in a grocery store. His uncle owned one, and took his nephew on for a time.
"So the grocery business was ingrained in him at that age. He uncle really taught him his work ethic," Cooper said.
After working for the Winn Dixie grocery chain for a while, Lively found his way to Piedmont, where he raised enough money to buy a shuttered grocery store.
Fifty years later – and one relocation to its current spot on East Ladiga Street – Lively still guides his ship with steady hands. Both his grown sons, Marty and Joey, work with him in the store.
Knowing what's important
Over the years, the labels on the foods Lively's sells have changed, and some of the long-time employees have moved on or passed away, but not much else has changed since 1963.
If he's been successful at all, his family says, it's because he works hard, pays attention to detail, is respectful to his customers and treats his employees well.
"Everybody was like family to him, and still is," Cooper said. "They're like his children, and he takes care of them."
Cashiers and clerks would hire on at Lively's and stay there for years, Cooper said, but it's not just the employees that he looks after. It's the folks who, day in and day out, buy their groceries from him.
"I remember at holidays, at Christmas, we'd be home having our dinner and someone would call and say 'I really need to get some milk for my babies.' Or 'I'm out of an ingredient for our Christmas dinner' and he would leave us and go to the store and open it for them," Cooper said. "He's a great businessman, but at the same time he has a heart for people who are in need."
That sense of respect for people was passed down to his children. Joey lively, 55, said that he makes a practice of never taking customers for granted.
"I tell them I appreciate them, because I do," lively said. "They're some nice folks."
Being a small operation can be great for customer service, but it's hard to compete with the large chains that buy food by the tonnage and can offer deep discounts. The Lively's have weathered their share of storms, they said, but they've always managed to stay about the water.
"There have been many other stores than have gone under," Marty Lively said, counting off a handful of Piedmont grocery stores that withered away in the last several decades.
A reticent owner
Lively won't likely talk about all he's done for people who have found themselves in desperate times, Cooper said. He's so humble and so busy, she said, that it might even be hard to pin her father down for an interview. It was - as a matter of fact - impossible.
If Lively won't talk about all the things, both small and large, he's done to help people in need, one lifelong customer and former employee will at least give a hint.
Like a lot of local college students, Michael Ingram said he'd worked at Lively's while he was in school.
"One of the things that sticks out to me from my time spent working at Lively's," Ingram wrote in an email to The Star, "is how generous the Lively family is to the people of our community."
He's managed to build a solid business, and he's got family ready to take over, so why doesn't Lively just retire, ride horses and fish and do all the things he can't do inside a grocery store?
Cooper said it's because the store is "his baby."
"He feels very tied to the people that are there and concerned for their well-being," she said. "I think he would have left a long time ago and turned it over to my brothers, but I think he feels so dedicated to the employees and making sure that they're all taken care of, that he wants to stay there and make sure it happens."

Published on: Feb 21, 2014 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print Friday's USDA Cattle on Feed Report points to tighter supplies, but not as tight as traders generally expected in advance of the report. . Placements in feedlots during January totaled 2.03 million, 9% above 2013. Traders expected roughly a 2.6% hike in placements. Larger-than-expected January placements pushed the Feb. 1 cattle on feed inventory to 10.760 million head, down 3% from Feb. 1, 2013. Traders expected the on feed inventory to be down about 5.2%. January marketings, at 1.788 million, were 5% below 2013, not far out of line with the 4.6% reduction traders expected. Net placements were 1.96 million head. During January, placements of cattle and calves weighing less than 600 pounds were 470,000, 600 to 699 pounds were 440,000, 700 to 799 pounds were 560,000, and 800 pounds and greater were 559,000.Larger-than-generally expected January placements boost Feb. 1 on-feed inventory above expectations, which is bearish for fed cattle trade Monday. Still, February marks the 17th straight month of smaller year-on-year inventories. That continues to say beef supplies will continue to tighten for the foreseeable future. So far this year, beef production is down 8.6% with cattle slaughter down 8.5%.That says beef and cattle prices should stay firm to record high, barring any major unexpected demand disruption. Market striving for new equilibrium A combination of tight beef supplies and short-bought retailers with advertising features that they needed to fill drove January's beef cutout and cash fed cattle price spike. Choice cutout surged from just over $200 on Jan. 2 to $240.05 on Jan 22, before skidding back to $208 last week. Now markets are looking for some sort of stability. Winter storms across a huge swath of the nation disrupted demand for beef. Buying interest should improve with better weather as grilling season nears. Continue reading after the jump >>>

Each biennial meeting of PHA's International PH Conference and Scientific Sessions includes a Research Room dedicated to helping researchers further their studies by allowing for the collection of data, including biological specimens (cheek swabs and blood samples) from PH patients. This event gives researchers the rare opportunity to collect data from the largest gathering of pulmonary hypertension patients in the world at any given time.
The first Research Room was held in 1994 at PHA's Conference in Stone Mountain, Ga. That first gathering brought together almost 70 patients. At PHA's 2012 Conference in Orlando, Fla., PHA hosted nine research teams from all over the U.S., with more than 230 attendees participating in the Research Room. Research projects approved in 2012 included:
PHA's 2014 Conference taking place June 20-22, in Indianapolis, Ind., will follow in this tradition.
Questions? Contact firstname.lastname@example.com or 301-565-3004 x770.
Apply today to participate as an Investigative Group at the 2014 Research Room. Applications, with a copy of the study's IRB-approval, are due on Monday, March 10, 2014.

So my wife has an iphone for a little over a year. I unlocked hers, like i did mine, but she didn't want all the updates as often as I did so its hard to remember exactly what I did. I think i unlocked hers twice and got as high as 1.1.4.
1 year later and she really wanted 3.0 so she just did an apple update from itunes. The phone works fine, but any non-standard app wont work. It starts to open, but then goes right back to the dashboard. I'm not sure she needs the jailbreak or unlock anymore, but would like her phone up and running like it should with app support.
I'm not certain what to do at this point and dont want to make things worse. She would like to stay on 3.0 but I'm willing to do what I need to to get it back up 100%. Is there an easy way to correct this? A virginize program? Do I need to jailbreak/unlock and if so which version given my situation. Thanks in advance. Currently her specs are:
Version 3.0
firmware 04.05.04_G
